LOCAL AFFAIRS.

The Eiection.-Tuesday was an ideal
election day. The morning broke
calm and clear, save for the smoke
which had for nearly week hung like
mantle of Indian summer over the
drowsy landscape, and the day wore
on without the discomfOrts native to
this latitude and altitude at this sea-
son. Partly for this reason a very
large vote was polled in both the town
districts, while the extraordinary char
acter of the contest furnished the re-
naming portions of the county an in
centive for a popular turnout.
Neither in Frostburg nor in the
county was there a jar worth record
ing, a fact in consonance with the
peaceful and generous character of
our people.
On the county tickets party lines
were almost entirely broken down. A

death during the afternoon of same

been to stop at point above the

run it into sidetrack and then let the

SIX gentlemen born In Europe did
not like the system of dockage which
obtains there. SO they broke all the
ties Of home and friends and came to
the land Of the free, where, Joined by
anative, they found things but little
better. They did not at all like this
thing called claw" which is only
freedom cut shOrter-in other words,
liberty docked. So last year they
packed a little reform in a piece of
gaspipe and dropped it among some
minions Of the law, killing and maim-
ing Il few. Eighteen months elapsed.
Thursday one blew his own head off
yesterday the law, Jealous of unlock
ed immunity, strangled four, and to-
day put the remaining two to work
for lie on goods which, it is said,
come in direct competition with what
is called the products of honest labor.
This is a long story, briefly told,
containing a moral which teaches
that outside OF dockage all roads lead
to anarchy, anarchy to the peniten-
tary for life or the scaf;old, and the
scatfold to an early hell.

Election Echoes.-It was a very
cold day for ''straighto tickets.
The ticket et-mauler was abroad in
Cumberland in full force and high
feather Tuesday. According to the
NeoS, speaking of the ballots, "they
were split in every possible direction
and manner and some were quite
artistic in appearance, regular. mo-
safes"
It was the kickers' harvest.
There are some things which might
be said, but the JOURNAL, which is the
author of political peace and lover of
Independent concord, leaves them to
the discussion of the organs.
1t was Il fuliginous day.
County commissioner-elect Stern left
Wednesday for New York. He re-
mained at home hardly long enough
to receive the congratulations of his
friends, the demand for new goods in
his palatal bazar being paramount.
Mr.. Stern returned this morning
to find that he leads all the county
candidates. Indeed, his vote is suf-
ficiently phenomenal to induce him TO
recognize it in card of thanks, which
he constructs in handsome style and
prints elsewhere in this paper.

The un-American plan of clannishly
supporting race or patronizing some
class notion, got a black eye. Another
such lesson better rubbed in will
sponge it out of the fabric of Allegany
county politics.
w. p. Hansel, living in Garrett,
near LonaconIng, and native of
Frostburg, was elected county com
missioner of his adopted county. This
is good news coming home.
One by one the leaves are flying, one
by one the robins sing; one by one the
political booms are dying that were
started in the spring.
The JOURNAL has given much space
to election news, and looking 1t all
over at this late day it reads much like
telegraph dispatch from Cumberland
that had come by freight.
Delegate-elect Benson was in town
this evening and congratulations fell
thick and fast upon him from all
quarters. Honest, square and fair,
he will make good representative of
the people and may be depended upon
to do nothing unjust to any interest.
Defeated candidates are congrat-
ulated generally upon the fact that
Salt river is but trifling distance
from Frostburg, while the boulevards
leading to it are in passable con-
dition only to those having the right
of way.
The sprinters' appeal to our new
Legislators for seml-monthly pay law
will conclude, it is thought, in the fol-
lowing pathetic verse:
Will you prove a broken reed to us who put
in you our trust,
Or revive and lift us lying bruised and wound
ed in the dust?
Help us, else are we all helpless save us, else
are we quite bust.

No candidate makes better Of
fetal because he is an Irishman,
or German, or Scotchman, or an
Englishman, or a Welshman, or an
American born citizen. If he be
capable and deserving he is entitled

grounds; if the accident of nativity
be his avowed claim to preferment,
he should be left at home to ENJOY all
the glory there is in the accident.

WHENEVER a proposition of gen.
eral application does not suit the
Homecoming ReUieU it wants to note
exceptions, and rice Tersd. Last week
it characterized "indiscriminate"
dockage as "nothing short of rob-
berry," implying of course that it is
all right where it is done with dis
elimination. This week it instances
ga mans circumstances" as having
something to do with the matter, so
that we are led to understand if he
cannot emigrate without incon-
venience Or pam he must be allowed
to have his own way.
But the quality of philanthropy,
like mercy, "is not strained" even
where, if anywhere, men carry on
business for the pleasure and profit
Of their employees. In the case of
the coal companies the system of
dockage is one fixed by the demand
Of the market for clean coal-a de-
mand which would laugh to derision
such an offset as that "involved in
the breaking up of home and the
seyering Of all ties with lifelong
friends"
This is the situation at the other
end Of the line, and the sentimental
ist who can inspire the consumer
with pity for the man who loves this
region and people so deeply that he
cannot liLd it in his heart to break
away from the robbers who employ
him will deserve a nickel-pIated ben,
edIction with Il real silver tip on the
little end of it.
